AI Thread Summary
A request for a comprehensive list of common star names for the FK5 was made, as the original poster expressed frustration in compiling the information from Wikipedia. A user suggested a specific Wikipedia page that contains a substantial list of proper star names, along with additional resources linked at the bottom. The discussion highlights the challenge of gathering this data and points to existing resources that may assist in the effort. The conversation emphasizes the need for accessible compilations of star names for easier reference. Overall, the community is encouraged to utilize shared resources to streamline the compilation process.

Can anyone point me towards a listing of common star names for the FK5?

Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
